Multi-column combobox

This is driving me insane. I have a multi-column combobox bound to a custom
property, Affiliation (fields, for simplicity, are "Code" and "Desc" - both
are text, Code is column 0, Desc is column 1). I fill it during item_open
event using List()=vItems (which is a 2-dimensional array of strings).

The properties for the combobox under the "Value" tab are:
Type: Text
List Type: Dropdown
Property to use: Value
Possible Values: {none - filled in Item_Open() event}
I've tried setting BoundColumn=0, and TextColumn=1 as well as BoundColumn=1,
and TextColumn=2 and neither works.

I keep MsgBoxing both the ComboBox.Value and the UserProperty.Value
throughout Item_Open and it's correct all the way through but then when I
switch to the contact's "All Fields" page after Item_Open is finished and
check the field value it's blank!!!

Does another event happen after Item_Open() and where would order of events
be documented?

I'd really appreciate some help on this. I've been trying to come at this
from different directions but it just isn't happening.
